About Monty Wolfe

Growing up gay in rural Louisiana, Monty Wolfe battled his loneliness by immersing himself in cinema. He found kinship and inspiration in the misfits and marginalized underdogs in movies. His love of movies eventually matured into a love of filmmaking, and he made his first films using a second-hand 8mm film camera. After a decade in television news, Monty moved to Portland, Oregon where he attended Portland State University School of Film and received a BA in film. As part of his studies, he put together his first award-winning gay short, In Pieces. Encouraged by that success, Monty would go on to write, produce, direct, and edit more award-winning LGBTQ-themed films. His films teeter between earnest and ironic, wholesome and decadent, grounded and surreal.
